RE: Just had a meeting with "THE MAN"
Wow. I guess when I wasnt looking, California decided to re-write the Consumer Protection Act of 1992. Because back then, when the new law was passed, allowing the private owner to modify any component of a privately owned vehicle, within the emissions guidelines of the EPA, and the NHTSA. In otherwords, as long as it passes smog, and wasnt "unsafe", it was legal to modify.
Furthermore, there has been a law in affect allowing the Modification of commercial vehicles for transportation of cargo, or passengers. I.e. window tint, upgraded suspension parts, driveline components, graphics, etc. Thats what a stretch limousine is. A modified car. period.
If there is a such a crackdown, the State of California stands to lose over 25 million dollars a year in revenue drawn by the sale of automobile aftermarket parts.
I think Mr. man needs to go back to class. He is grossly misinformed. Imagine what would happen if it became illegal to have aftermarket rims, window tint, alternative fuels, custom paint, and quieter(yes, quieter) exhaust. This state has more cars per capita than any other state in the union. If the lawmakers tried to limit what Kalifornian's can do to their private property,(triple-taxed private property, I might add), then the sale of new vehicles will cease, and the "black market" for used cars will return.
Good luck CHP. Nice try. I hope they didnt have you fooled Stanley. You know better.(I hope)
Oh, and p.s. I love to get in our STOCK 1969 Plymouth Road Runner, 440-6pack, and drive it WOT. Exempt from emission testing, and runs rich enough to gag a small animal!!! I pay at the pump, so they cant say squat! You dont like it? STAY HOME!!!
